OutRun 2: New Screens, Video, Audio

After Kikizo's unveiling of six new courses, here's the latest round of screens, footage and audio, plus details on the final course inside.

The most disappointing thing about our playtest with the near-final version of OutRun 2 almost a month ago was that, despite being able to show you the game's previously unseen courses for the first time ever, we didn't access a couple of courses in time to show you. Until late last week, the only place you could see those new courses was here at Kikizo.

AM2 have released official screens of the second-last set of courses (four of them, before the final five) including one we hadn't been able to access during our playtest, Ghost Forest, which unsurprisingly looks fantastic. Cloudly Highland, Industrial Complex and Snow Mountain will all be 'old news' to Kikizo readers - but they still look absolutely stunning in these official screens.

"The final course is a sunny, beautiful seaside town with a winding cobblestone road up a mountain."

In a couple of weeks, AM2 will predictably release images of the final set of five courses, but you can already see our screens and video footage of three of them in our recent report. Ancient Ruins is another desert-style level with - you guessed it - some ruins here and there, while the final, hardest stage of all (accessible from Ghost Forest) is set in a sunny, seaside town in what looks like a European holiday setting. This final stage features a long, winding, cobblestone road up a mountain, with white buildings and houses completing the beautiful setting. Stay tuned to see more on those final unseen courses.

In addition to its screenshot update, AM2 has released a new video showing the first ten courses in action, along with three audio tracks from the game in MP3 format. We present the whole lot here for your downloading pleasure, because it would be an internet crime to have an incomplete archive of OutRun 2 media.
